'I Only Need To Stick Around 4 Or 5 More Years': Doctor Shows How Horrific The US Healthcare System Is

I wish you could come to the UK. The teeth would not be pulled, we rarely do that. UK is 2nd only to Finland for best dental care in the world. Your teeth would be treated. It wouldn't be free, as that is one area we have to contribute to costs under the NHS, or go private. I have a private dental plan that is £25 per month. Most teeth can be saved with good dentistry. I have had two break but they were repaired. Drugs are £9.15 a go or you can buy a prepay certificate for £106 that covers every prescription cost, unlimited. Free therapy and access to mental health care, I saw someone for several years. Excellent epilepsy treatment, my BIL has his well under control as they take great care to get the medication right. If a person is genuinely disabled, access to benefits is not easy, but once accepted is good. I have a blue badge and claim a benefit to help with extra living costs. I so feel for people in the US.

31 American Things That Look A Whole Lot Different In Other Countries

When I was in highschool, in maybe 94 or 95, they had a Surge promotion rally thing, and gave out free Surge, and everyone rushed the stage and there was a slight riot. Surge was shaken, opened, exploded, and everything was sticky. I really can't remember ever having Surge again.

Read 'Five Patients' by Michael Crighton (yes, the same of Jurassic Park fame). He's a medical doctor, and in 1970 he published a scathing rebuke of the American health care system using five case studies. He told us, fifty years ago, exactly what would happen to this country if we didn't change. And... we didn't.

14k for a 3 hour ER visit to see if I had an appendicitis. No meds only tests and an IV of fluids. 3k just to walk in. $1.5 to put the needle in

'I Only Need To Stick Around 4 Or 5 More Years': Doctor Shows How Horrific The US Healthcare System Is

Thank goodness for the NHS here in the U.K. We complain about it a lot but stories like this really show what a gem it is. We don't have to choose between which medications we can afford, we don't get a cut-off point in treatment for chronic conditions and 99% of the time we don't get a bill, though the conservatives are doing their damndest to change that. Add to that, it costs about half the price per treatment to the NHS as the U.S. system prices their treatments at, and you have to wonder at the lies told to U.S. citisens about the costs of universal healthcare.

I had my Ragdoll cat shaved in May and it has almost grown back. I think she wishes she was a short haired cat all the time. It was hard not to laugh because they look really funny when their head is not shaved and it just stops at her neck.
